right click very slow to display menu in windows 10

I fixed this by deleting the registry keys that add a context menu for my Intel 4000 video driver (see [URL="https://www.windowsphoneinfo.com/threads/remove-intel-hd-graphics-desktop-context-menu-in-windows.8364/[/URL]
for the key location and names, not sure if the key itself was the same but the location was). Now my right click is instant again!

 

Right click menu extremely slow to respond

Usually the crappy implementation of windows 10 drivers of INTEL HD 4000 and other display adapters is the culprit.

Remove Intel HD Graphics desktop context menu in Windows

The Plethora of problems windows 10 build November 2015 has given me is disgusting.

 

You're most welcome Lamberto. I'm glad it could help. *Smile

That's correct. The remove .reg file will delete the igfxcui and igfxDTCM keys to remove the context menu.

 

Thank you a lot Shawn, I had actually never ventured in that area of the Registry before. *Biggrin

 

I updated to latest intel driver on my surface pro 4. I don't have the two desktop context items described here. I tried to add them with the .reg and it didn't work.

 

Hello jvook,

Yeah, it won't work unless it was originally there. *Sad

If you like, export the key below from your registry as a .reg file, and upload it here. It'll show what you have instead for the Intel context menu item.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

 

myshellex.reg
I think it has the .reg from above as well

 

Ok, good. It uses the same registry entries in the tutorial.
